They look awesome but theyr too thick. You're overloading the view with explosions. Try to make your explosions a little smaller. It's just a little 'too much' fire to be believable

I don't like 4 because the graphics are overall a little too large; you don't want to not be able to see the awesome corpse you just wrecked, IMO. ;) I think 7 is good; combine that with 8 (use 7's circles with the rest of 8 and that'd be good).

An alpha layer would have it blend in with the background. You can do it by either renaming .png or .tga files to .bmp (you must have known file extensions enabled, assuming you're on Windows). How you add alpha depends on the program you use.
